ds 5.5 GDD, low muscle tone ,EDS , verbal oral dyspraxi , has been out of nappies in the day since was 4.2 though would often have accidents 3-4 a week and does not always say when wet or soiled so has to be reminded to go Does struggle to hold if out and about .

He is in nappies/pull up at nighs as is nowhere near ready often soils in night or asleep and i only know by smell when check on him and his nappies are sodden in morning

~Since started school Septembe rhe has been having 4-5 accidents a week sometimes 2 or 3 in a day .Today he has come home in a pull up and a request that i send in a pack as he indicated he wears at home obviously there not aware he means at night but school saying there struggling to deal with his accidents had 4 today before lunch though i know he has gone back a bit as was ill last week and always knjocks back

So wwyd send him in pull ups as requested or insist that he stays in pants and there just going have to tell him to go and make sure he does .

He does have staement but he is in speech unit and they dont get any extra hrs to take account of his other issues let alone the accidents and do understand that it is taking lot of extra time for changing him and that there already doing Ot etc without more hrs for staff but kinda loath to put back in nappies

If it says in his statement that he needs help with personal care,then it is a legal obligation.

i still don't see the difference in them changing soiled clothes or soiled nappies, if he isn't going to tlel them either way they are also going to have to check his nappy regualrly.
I assume they are not going to give up on supporting you in toilet training so they are still going to ahve to ask him & remind him regularly no matter what he is wearing.

The only reason I can see for them wanting them in anppies is for THEIR convenience & that really is not good enough justification.
Your ds's needs should be priority not their workload.
